Off hand I would say it's akin to a getaway driver in a bank robbery where a teller is murdered inside while the driver simply sat in the car.

Look, the fact is we know shit about the specifics of this case. Did the father begin the chase? Did he yell for his son to get the guns and get in the truck? There are a LOT of factors here and every second will be reconstructed. Until then we're just a bunch of people typing shit on their keyboards.

Your point is well-taken. We do need more facts about the incident and legal environment in GA. Unfortunately, everybody is looking at this case in generalities. As an attorney, I look at the law and try to apply it. These guys are charged with first degree murder. I think a lot more attention needs to be paid to the fight over the shotgun than other matters. Did the defendant point the shotgun? Did he say “stop or I’ll shoot”? How tall is Arbery? And was he trying a “sneak attack” around a jacked up pick up truck to take the defendant by surprise? BTW, I was sitting around with 4 other defense attorneys today, and all of us agreed 100% that the case against the Dad is laughable. As to the son, we all agreed we needed more facts but, assuming the DA’s exoneration letter is accurate, he likely did not commit a crime.
